Area authorities conduct patrol to stop impaired drivers

Five DUI arrests made

Local authorities conducted a patrol focused on stopping impaired drivers Saturday night, making five DUI arrests and writing 28 citations.

Eight officers from the St. Augustine Police Department, the St. Augustine Beach Police Department and the St. John's County Sheriff's Office helped, as part of the Labor Day traffic initiative, "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."

The six-hour patrol covered the areas near A1A/Beach Boulevard, Anastasia Boulevard and State Road 312, as well as other parts of the county.

This was the second of on-going patrols that will continue throughout the year.
